mediBac clearing®

Clearer skin starts now: bring the four contributing factors of acne under control.

The MediBac Clearing® system works to treat, clear and prevent adult acne while addressing the needs of adult skin. Most products and treatments for acne are designed for teenage skin, making them too harsh and irritating for adult acne sufferers. MediBac Clearing® controls acne without compromising skin’s integrity, which means skin is clearer and healthier.

how it works

Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing® system is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the main factors that contribute to acne.

I feel like it is doing something to my skin but I'm just not seeing a difference. The acne isn't leaving.

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica and for your feedback. I apologize for your negative experience. Acne is caused by several internal factors like hormones, stress, genetics, etc. Topical products cannot reverse those internal factors, unfortunately. However, topical products like the MediBac Kit can manage the acne. Acne can also be caused by external factors, like lifestyle, pollution, makeup, etc. The good news is, those factors can be controlled a little better. It is important to be patient and persistent with acne products. Additionally, I invite you to visit our Live Chat, Monday-Friday 8 am to 4:30 PM so that we can have a detailed conversation about your breakouts. Perhaps a more customized regimen (rather than a kit) will target your breakouts best.

For years, I've struggled with acne. Now, I'm 27 and still experience it. I've heard SO many good things about dermalogica, so I decided I'd finally give it a try. I've been using it for a while now and my face continues to break out ALL over, frankly, it's gotten worse. The acne I had when I began using the product hasn't even disappeared. My cheeks have even begun to break out now, which has never been a problem for me. I'm really disappointed that I spent so much on this, but am at least glad I didn't spend for the full sized products.

How old are you?:

25-34

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for your negative experience. The MediBac Kit is for a full face of acne. If you only have sporadic breakouts, this kit will be too much and can cause purging, such as what you described.

I will reach out to you directly to recommend alternative products that may be better suited for your skin, and to help with returns.

I'm 38 this year and started having acne problems for the first time in my life the last 3 months. It started with a few persistent ones and soon they were popping up randomly around my face. Dalacin and antibiotics could not control or treat the acne so I had to look for alternatives. After using the breakout control recommended by my spa therapist, I found Dermalogica products to be very effective and decided to try this. I've been using this kit for about 3-4 weeks now. The acne has almost completely cleared and my skin is returning to its previous condition ie. smoother, smaller pores and fewer tiny bumps. There's a bit of acne scarring which always happens on my skin (especially for large acne) but I know it will clear up given time. For now, I'll continue using this to control the acne as well as look for something to speed up the recovery/treatment of acne scarring.

I have used a variety of dermalogica products from moisturizers, face masks and exfoliants. I have been satisfied with everything I have purchased so far. It is a bit pricey but it's worth the cost. The clearing kit is very gentle on face, great for sensitive skin.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. If you are a teenager, please use the Clear Start Kit. It is made for teenage acne, which is caused by puberty and genetics. The MediBac kit is for adult acne which is caused by stress, hormones, genetics, etc. It also takes aging skin into mind. Therefore, the MediBac kit is not appropriate for teen skin.

Kind Regards,The Dermalogica Team

Q:

I have dry, sensitive (can't use benzoyl peroxide), acne prone (at least one new breakout everyday), nursing a 3 week old. I'm 30, have cystic acne around my chin, blackheads and whiteheads. Everything I've been prescribed is too harsh and causes more breakouts. Is this product the right one for me? I'm desperate

Skin purging ?: I've been using this kit for roughly a week now and i've noticed that my skin has felt better. However i've had a lot of little pimples come up in that time. typically they last 1-3 days and are smaller than i'm typically used to. Is this what you call your skin purging in that the products are brining all the impurities to the surface or is this something that could be a permanent thing ?

you cant go wrong with active moist! its the perfect in between. i also use oil control in the summer just cause my face changes a bit in the summer because of the heat.

Thank you for your inquiry. Active Moist is an oil free moisturizer and will help to hydrate your skin without causing breakouts. If you have very oily skin we suggest using Oil Control Lotion. This moisturizer is very light weight and will help to absorb excess oil.-The Dermalogica Team
